Galicia--Austrian Partition of Poland
The current definitive English history of Poland is a two volume work entitled "God's Playground" by author Norman Davies, published by Oxford University. I've been interested in understanding exactly where the borders were between the Austrian, Prussian, and Russian partitions of Poland. This can be important for identifying the correct villages of origin, and locating vital records.

And here is my re-creation of the map above in Google Maps. I included Swierczow, which is where the Piorek's came from, as well as Walke/Walce (west of the Galician border) because it is my only lead on where the Gemza's came from right now.
